Now even though this is shrimp, this is equally as good with scallops, halibut, cod, grouper, etc. Any study white fish. Swordfish would work and even tuna would be nice. Serve this over creamy cheesy polenta. Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled (i keep the tails on) |
1/2 cup orange juice (from 1-2 oranges, if one orange is enough cut up the other orange to add on the skewers, just depend) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 orange, zest of |
1 lemon, zest of |
2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo, fine chopped (use more is you like more spice) |
Directions:
1. Now shrimp will take only about 30-45 minutes worth of marinade.
2. Scallops - 20-30 tops.
3. Fish can go a couple of hours, especially cod or halibut a thick cut fish steak.
4. Marinade - Mix the orange juice, lemon, zest of both the orange and lemon and chipoltes. Just mix all in a baggie and let the seafood marinade.
5. Shrimp - Now I like to skewer mine (bamboo skewers soaked in water first if using a charcoal grill) and then just grill. They take hardly any time. Just a couple of minutes per side is all. Just until they turn pink. I baste them as they grill once per side with the marinade. You can do this inside on a grill pan or outside on the grill.
6. Serve - With creamy cheesy polenta and grilled vegetables.
